This thesis aims to explore the topic of social and emotional competencies (Social and Emotional Learning – SEL), focusing on their development in primary school and their role in promoting inclusion within the school context. The objective of the work is to highlight the educational potential of these competencies in promoting a welcoming environment and supporting the well-being of all pupils, with particular attention to children who face vulnerabilities in terms of inclusion and participation. Through a theoretical investigation and an analysis of validated SEL programs, the thesis also reflects on the educator’s contribution and on educational strategies to create an environment capable of valuing even the less visible students. The first chapter outlines the theoretical framework, starting from the definition of these competencies and presenting different models, with a focus on the objectives and developmental tasks expected at each stage of school age. The second chapter presents an overview of validated SEL programs and interventions applicable in classroom settings, illustrating their principles, goals, and outcomes. The third and final chapter offers an educational reflection on students who experience difficulties such as low participation, shyness, and challenges in emerging within the social dynamics of the class group. It also explores the role and responsibilities of the educator within these interventions, in supporting the children’s growth and inclusion process through the development of social and emotional competencies.
La presente tesi si propone di affrontare il tema delle competenze sociali ed emotive (Social and Emotional Learning - SEL) con riferimento al loro sviluppo nella scuola primaria e al loro ruolo nel promuovere l'inclusione all'interno del contesto scolastico. L'obiettivo dell'elaborato è evidenziare il potenziale educativo di queste competenze nel favorire un clima accogliente e nel supportare il benessere di tutti gli alunni, soffermandosi, in modo particolare, su quei bambini che presentano delle vulnerabilità rispetto all'inclusione e alla partecipazione. Attraverso un'indagine teorica e un'analisi di programmi SEL validati, si riflette inoltre sul contributo dell'educatore e sulle strategie educative per creare un ambiente in grado di valorizzare appunto anche gli alunni meno visibili. Nel primo capitolo, si delinea il quadro teorico di riferimento, a partire dalla definizione di queste competenze e articolandole secondo dei modelli, con attenzione agli obiettivi e compiti evolutivi previsti in ciascuna tappa dell'età scolare. Il secondo capitolo presenta una panoramica di programmi e interventi SEL validati e applicabili concretamente nel contesto classe, illustrandone principi, obiettivi e risultati. Il terzo e conclusivo capitolo, propone una riflessione educativa sugli alunni che presentano una situazione complessa caratterizzata da scarsa partecipazione, timidezza e fatica ad emergere nelle dinamiche sociali del gruppo classe, oltre che interrogarsi su come l'educatore può entrare e con quali compiti all'interno di questi interventi sostenendo il percorso di crescita e inclusione attraverso appunto l'acquisizione delle competenze sociali ed emotive

Abstract
This thesis aims to explore the topic of social and emotional competencies (Social and Emotional Learning – SEL), focusing on their development in primary school and their role in promoting inclusion within the school context. The objective of the work is to highlight the educational potential of these competencies in promoting a welcoming environment and supporting the well-being of all pupils, with particular attention to children who face vulnerabilities in terms of inclusion and participation. Through a theoretical investigation and an analysis of validated SEL programs, the thesis also reflects on the educator’s contribution and on educational strategies to create an environment capable of valuing even the less visible students. The first chapter outlines the theoretical framework, starting from the definition of these competencies and presenting different models, with a focus on the objectives and developmental tasks expected at each stage of school age. The second chapter presents an overview of validated SEL programs and interventions applicable in classroom settings, illustrating their principles, goals, and outcomes. The third and final chapter offers an educational reflection on students who experience difficulties such as low participation, shyness, and challenges in emerging within the social dynamics of the class group. It also explores the role and responsibilities of the educator within these interventions, in supporting the children’s growth and inclusion process through the development of social and emotional competencies.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
